Question: hello i hit my cheek hard no pain black eye next morning been 2 weeks hard lump on cheek notice it has has slight bruising on bottom of lump no pain blackeye is healed.no pain on cheek will it heal on own
Brief Answer:
Yes. It will heal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic.
The lump on your cheek is likely to be a small collection of blood that has become a solid mass shortly after your injury. This is quite common and is nothing to worry about. The concern with a blow to the cheek is a fracture. However, there would be pain if this was the case so this is unlikely to have occurred. The lump may remain for over a week and be slow to resolve but should eventually disappear completely.
I hope this is of help. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
